Sunday December 21st proved to be an early Christmas Day for 50 bingo fans, as they were all winners of the Christmas Bingo bonus.
National Bingo reports that the prize pool of just over £250,000 was split evenly between the 50 winners.
This means that some of those who left their best bingo sites for the evening and gave up on online bingo for a one night venture to their local bingo hall, were rewarded with a jackpot of slightly more than £5,000.
As well as announcing the results of the game, National Bingo also took the chance to wish all its customers a happy and prosperous Christmas and New Year.
All bingo winners, whether sccoping a jackpot through playing bingo online or at a traditional bingo hall, have numerous options open to them of how best to spend their winnings.
The South Shields recently reported that one winner has opted to spend his £10,000 windfall on helping his son in his ambition to be a West End star.
Terence Perry is to use his money to pay for his son Christopher to undertake a one year's intensive course at the London School of Musical Theatre.
